Exactly what i came to post god i miss these thingsMy answer is always the same: Butterfinger B.B.'s:
I don't care for Butterfinger candy bars nor do I care for their pseudo-replacement, Butterfinger Bites. But there was something different about how Butterfinger B.B.'s structured their crispy core. It was just so much more pleasing and clean to eat. To have lived in a world with Butterfinger B.B.'s and to now live in a world without them often leaves me cold wondering what we will even have left to leave for our children.
Wendy's Ghost Pepper fries. They were nowhere near ghost pepper hot, but man they tasted fuckin great. Used to get like, 5 orders a day for people back at work. Sad times :(
Jarritos Watermelon Soda. Really ANY good watermelon soda. They just seem to have completely stopped making them and that's a bummer.
Nature's Valley granola clusters. It was marked as a candy bar replacement but that shit was just a sugary if not even more so. It was a nougat bar and covered in caramel with granola sprinkled on top. Some even had chocolate chips too. That shit was delish. I think they stopped making them in the mid 80s.
Red Tangerine Fanta was so fucking great until they changed it to natural flavours/colours.
Also the New Yorker from Pizza Hut was pretty good.

These were around when I was really young (early to mid-80s). They were just your standard popsicle flavour assortment of cherry/orange/grape, but the box was so much fun and the pops looked really cool (though not nearly as detailed as the packaging made them out to be). Probably my favourite snack memory from my childhood, along with Planters Cheez-Balls which, as many have noted, are once again available (and still wonderful!)
I miss you, 3-D Monster Pops.
Used to get these -- specifically the green flavor -- all the time when I went to the local supermarket with my parents in elementary school. 32g of sugar in like 8.25 oz, not sure if I miss it in hindsight lmao
Don't think its still around, or the nostalgia holds up to my change in taste/food standard, but I was very young I used to get Heinz Beanz Pizza, a Heinz brand pizza that replaced the tomato sauce with a beans version of it there was also one with little sausage slices on it, remember loving it back in the day.
Once upon a time there was a Simpson's brand canned drink, had it maybe twice but it wasn't till years later I realised the flavour was cream soda.

The spicy mcchicken sandwiches in McDonalds. I only go there just for that and the deluxe breakfast platter.
KFC sweet and spicy boneless wings. I ate 12 pieces of those and 3 snackers too. So dam delicious.
The $10 box in popeyes. 6 peices of chicken tenders, 2 sides, and 2 biscuits. Good deal.

Walgreens had store brand Jalapeno Cashews that were absolutely amazing. Every week I'd go to my local Walgreens and buy the four bags they had on the shelf and they were my go-to work snack. Then they slowly started disappearing, I was going to other Walgreens stores near work or my parent's house, but eventually they disappeared from everywhere. Emerald makes a Jalapeno Cashew but its nowhere near as good. Now my work snack is 7-11 Jalapeno Peanuts, but I'm not sure how long those will be around. I used to be able to buy boxes of them from Amazon, but they're no longer for sale there so I have to buy individual bags from the 7-11 gas station on my way to work.
Loved these drinks as a kid. Think my favorite was Fire and then later when the other elements launched i went with Atomic and Volcano.
Rain was the SHIT.
The fact that Clearly Canadian only exists online or apparently in exactly one retail chain anywhere(with the nearest one being 50+ miles away) and not in every single store that I enter was surely the first sign something had gone terribly wrong with our timeline.
Starburst Joosters (UK).
Starburst do jelly beans in the US, but they don't taste as fruity as these did. These were strong in the juicy game =[
Came here to say this... These ruined all other jelly beans for me (though Asda of all places did some half decent ones for a time)
Wtf is with the weird-ass flavours of jelly beans you get these days? I don't want non-fruit flavoured beans, but no, now you have to play some pseudo-russian roulette variant where you might get... I dunno, some manky coffee flavour or something
With Dunkaroos seemingly coming back, this is my answer. God, these were good.My answer is always the same: Butterfinger B.B.'s:

Actually, no I can think of something else: Altoids Tangerine Sours
These shits were fucking godlike. Tasted just like Tangerines but in tangy candy form.
I saw this on sale while I was on my vacation in Turks and Caicos... knew I should have given it a try.
Was just about to say these. It was like sharks at the chum bucket when you would bust out a tin at school
Found this link while looking them up just now,
Here's Why You Can't Find Altoids Sours On Shelves Anymore
The beloved Altoids Sours may be discontinued, but there are ways to recreate them at home.
Guess they were only popular with schoolkids.
Always and forever.Surprised no one said the Arch Deluxe yet!
These.
Crystal Pepsi came back a few years ago. I don't know it's distribution or schedule, but I see it in the wild randomly.and I'm surprised nobody mentioned this:

Yeah I had it a few times. Was alright. Just kind of a real sweet soda.
this stuff was amazing.
for me lately it's been Taco Bell's double decker tacos. Mostly because they have everything they need to make it still, just...don't?
It's been discontinued here in Indonesia since mid 2000s. I've missed it.

Same thing happened with tostadas. They use them for the crunch wrap and for some reason, nope, no tostadas for like four years. But the tostadas are back now.
Was it like an unusual or special orange flavor? Or is orange soda hard to come by in Sweden?
I was addicted to PB crisps as a child in the 90s. I miss them dearly.
Yes, you understand.
Woahhhh I have vague memories of regular PB Crisps but I Had never seen these other variations. That PB+J Crisp would be an every day snack for me.
PB CRISPS MOTHERFUCKER!
PB Crisps
Adult me probably wouldn't want them though.
Between these and Cheez Balls, Planters knew what they were doing but fucked it up.
Just these.
Surprised no one said the Arch Deluxe yet!
I feel like I'm the only one who liked this. Good that
You can still get it online thankfully, but Chef Boyardee Spaghetti Sauce with Meat.
Unlike the canned kids pasta they make, this is actually a decent spaghetti sauce, especially if you mix in some parmesan cheese.
Used to be in Albertson most of my childhood, but it got hard to find around 2006/7.
Another spaghetti sauce: Prego Hearty Meat
It was a line of several flavors that were DELICIOUS. There was a Meatball Parmesan that was amazing, and an Italian Meat one with several types of meat.
I'd kill to find this stuff again.

This. It was the shit.
That stuff was awesome š¤¤š¤¤š¤¤
Loved these growing up, local ice rink had them:
Wait, you had Batman soda in Sweden? Man, you Swedes got all the good stuff back then, we never got that in Norway :'(
and I'm surprised nobody mentioned this:
I kinda miss it. Didn't taste anything special, but it was kinda cool.
I miss Pepsi Twist too. That new Pepsi Max with lime just ain't the same.
